    EM123 LIFESTYLE [ SECTION E ] Sunday, April 25, 2010 ONLINE POLL You be the Judge, and tell us what they’re Worth Alright, alright, we hear you. We made some changes to our comics’ lineup a few weeks ago, and scores of you have responded that we should not have dropped the long-running comic “Judge Parker.” Did we misjudge the judge’s popularity ? Maybe. We’ll let you decide. Many of you told us that we dropped the wrong soap opera, or continuity, comic strip, meaning comics whose storylines carry over from day to day. “Mary Worth’s Family” would have been the better choice, fans of “Judge Parker” say. So, instead of inviting you, or the vener- able comic strip characters, downtown for a street fight, we’re going to put this to a vote. Go to blog.al.com/bn/comics and tell us who should stay in The Birmingham News comics lineup: “Judge Parker” or “Mary Worth’s Family.” You have until Sun- day, May 2, at 6 p.m. to vote.

  • Li'l Abner in Washington Today by Irv Sternberg a New York Mayor Read
    Imagine: Li’l Abner in Washington Today By Irv Sternberg A New York mayor read them to children on the radio every Sunday morning. Some mimicked real people. They offered a daily respite from the dark days of the Depression, and were part of my life in the thirties and forties. My favorite comic strips as a child growing up in that period were ‘Li’l Abner,’ ‘Prince Valiant,’ ‘Dick Tracy,’ ‘Blondie,’ and ‘Rex Morgan, MD.’ Some can still be read in certain newspapers, a testimonial to their popularity over the decades. I’ve always favored cartoons that featured quirky characters in uncluttered drawings and told funny or exciting stories in a crisp style. I was amused by Li’l Abner and his friends in hillbilly country, by the well-told adventures and beautifully drawn panels of ‘Prince Valiant’ in the days of King Arthur, and by tough, square- jawed Dick Tracy who introduced the two-way radio wristwatch and the police procedural genre to the comic strips. Now, in the winter of my life, I still read the comics. My current favorites are ‘Pickles,’ ‘Zits,’ ‘Pluggers,’ ‘Luann,’ and ‘Beetle Bailey.’ I like ‘Pickles’ and ‘Pluggers’ because the writers seem to be eavesdropping on my life. In ‘Pickles,’ I relate to his characters, Earl and Opal. I recognize the oddball situations and sometimes testy conversation between these two old-timers. ‘Pluggers’ seems to be based on hilarious situations too close for comfort. ‘Zits’ is about a self-centered, self-indulgent teenager whose behavior is so outrageous I’m just grateful he’s not mine.

    Page 14 Colby Free Press Wednesday, January 18, 2006 For Better or Worse • Lynn Johnston Crossword Bridge Garfield • Jim Davis As a rule, a grand slam should not be undertaken unless the chances in favor of making it are at least 2- to-1. These odds come from comparing what can be gained from making the grand slam — an additional 500 or 750 points, depending on vulnerability — to what can be lost — approximately 1,000 or 1,500 points, again depending on vulnerability. It follows that bidding a grand slam that depends on Hagar the Horrible • Chris Browne a finesse — a 50-50 chance — is in the long run a los- ing proposition. Unfortunately, a player can’t always tell whether that’s what the grand slam will depend on. In the present case, for example, South didn’t know whether his partner had the king of spades but decided to bid seven anyway. He reasoned that even if North lacked the king, there might be alternative chances for 13 tricks, with a spade finesse still available as a last resort. South then proceeded to demonstrate that his assessment of the prospects was correct. After winning the diamond lead, he led the five of clubs to the jack, cashed the A-K of hearts, discarding two spades, then ruffed a heart with the ten. When both opponents followed suit to the three heart leads, the grand slam became a certainty. Blondie • Chic Young Declarer next led the six of clubs to the nine and ruffed another heart with the queen, establishing dummy’s two remaining hearts.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture
    OCULREV Fall 2012 Rostron 323-395 (Do Not Delete) 12/17/2012 10:59 AM OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VOLUME 37 FALL 2012 NUMBER 3 ARTICLES THE LAW AND ORDER THEME IN POLITICAL AND POPULAR CULTURE Allen Rostron I. INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.
